This place was a very random find on the way home to Melbourne from Mountain Biking at Creswick. Fantastic food, surreal decore, and friendly management/staff. Vegan/Vego and meat options available. Would visit again even without the need to go mountain biking excuse!

Coffee was very nice, and while service wasn’t the fastest, it was warm and friendly. The atmosphere is vibrant and quirky – a mix of everything from a wall of teddy bears to signed guitars by the Eagles and Slipknot. Odd, but in a way that suits the easy-going vibe of the place. The banana cake with lemon icing is an absolute must – fresh, zesty, and the perfect pairing with a coffee. Word of warning: the entrance is on the side, not the front. (Yes, I also tried a few wrong doors first!)
